What does the abbreviation MPD mean? Searching online the top hit is Multiple Personality Disorder, hope that's not it!

For smaller stations look on Railpictures.net for stations such as Pontresina, older pictures of Filisur, Bever and Disentis

There are bigger depots at Chur and Landquart.

Evening all, on Tuesday I ask a friend about timber for the shed, he asked me for a plan etc., I gave him it
on Wednesday and he rang to say not to buy any timber as he had plenty of off cuts this evening he came with the building finished. its great to have friends, should the roof be corrugated ? any ideas on a supplier? Les

I have used corrugated aluminium sheet from B&Q on my station building. The corrugations look about the right scale and it comes in a decent size sheet so you don't have too many joints to worry about.

I don't know if it is the correct style for your prototype though.

Check out the G4/5 on Dampfatelier in Switzerland if you´re looking at live steam. I´ve got a Regner G4/5, but it´s sadly no longer available.
